Description:

This operator information (diagnostic trouble code) is generated when the reverse drive lever is in the position for forward or reverse travel while the tractor is being started or the ignition is being turned on. If this code is generated despite the lever not being in a travel position, an operational checkout should be performed.

    • Ensure the operator places the reverse drive lever in the neutral or park position before starting the tractor or turning on the ignition.
  • Inspect Reverse Drive Lever Mechanism:
    • Check the reverse drive lever for proper operation and any signs of malfunction.
    • Repair or replace the lever if necessary.
  • Check Sensor Signals:
    • Verify that the sensors detecting the lever position are functioning correctly.
    • Replace any faulty sensors.
  • Operational Checkout:
    • If the issue persists despite the lever being in the correct position, perform a detailed operational checkout to identify and rectify any underlying problems.
  • Reset Control Module:
    • Turn the ignition switch off and on to reset the control module and clear the diagnostic trouble code.

Note:

Adhering to proper start-up procedures and ensuring the correct positioning of the reverse drive lever can prevent this issue and ensure reliable tractor operation. Regular maintenance and checks can help identify and resolve any potential faults.
